Value Collection 6RSB1*1/2 Pipe Reducer 316 Ss Fnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6RSB1*1/2 is a threaded pipe reducer fitting designed to transition from a 1-inch female NPT connection down to a 1/2-inch female NPT connection. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in demanding fluid systems. It carries a pressure rating of 150 psi and conforms to Schedule 40 specifications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of reducer when downsizing pipe runs in process, utility, or plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and threaded assembly are required.

This reducer is used in residential and commercial piping systems where line size changes are needed between main runs and branch connections. The FNPT x FNPT thread configuration allows installation into existing threaded pipe systems without welding or special tooling. Typical applications include water supply lines, chemical handling systems, and marine or coastal installations where 316 stainless steel is specified for its chloride resistance.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-rich environments
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for straightforward threaded installation
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for standard Schedule 40 piping systems
• Reduces from 1-inch to 1/2-inch pipe size in a single fitting
• Schedule 40 specification for compatibility with common threaded pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe reducer for use in Schedule 40 FNPT piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/2-inch transition in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as 316 stainless steel fittings can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication.
